The Waikiki Grand is located one block from the sands of Waikiki Beach, across from the Honolulu Zoo and near the Waikiki Aquarium. Beach activities, art shows, cultural festivals, and music concerts in Queen Kapiolani Park are just steps away. Enjoy a meal at Teddy's Bigger Burgers or have a cocktail at Hula's Bar & Lei Stand. The hotel offers a selection of moderately-priced, non-smoking hotel rooms with ocean, Diamond Head, or Kapiolani Park views.

All rooms have one bed only. We paid for two rooms for 6 people. They offered to give us a rollaway if one was available. Our room was so small there was no room for one.All rooms have one bed only.

My boyfriend is stationed in the Navy in Pearl Harbor. I needed to find an affordable hotel, close to base and the beach. Castle Waikiki was PERFECT! It is a block from the ocean, was affordable and perfect location. We walked all over Waikiki and could hop on the highway easily. We also had a balcony. The staff was very helpful and it was relaxing and quiet. I will go back!My boyfriend is stationed in the Navy in Pearl Harbor. I needed to find an affordable hotel, close to base and the beach.

I was very disappointed in the hotel the only thing that matched any part of pictures or description was the lobby. The room was small, we had bugs crawling all over everything, one window was broken the others didn't open because the pieces you turn to open them were broke.. The tub had mold around it and didn't have a working plug in it to be able to fill it.. The people that worked there didn't say anything to us till we asked them something and could offer no help on things to do. I personally wont stay there again.I was very disappointed in the hotel the only thing that matched any part of pictures or description was the lobby.

Its ok for last minutes travel plans where you are in a crunch to travel. It close to the Zoo, buses, Trolleys and the beach and you can wake up and go to a great place for breakfast right on the corner. I was place near the trash shoot, so you may get waking throughout the night from drunk people throwing thing away, and eventhough they had signs for no smoking in the halls you could still smell smoke in the halls from people still smoking. Also when I arrived I had a lot of cockroaches in the kitchen I had to buy some spray a near by store because the man who could come out to spray wasn't available for a fews days.Its ok for last minutes travel plans where you are in a crunch to travel.

You get what you pay for with this hotel. From what we understood, the rooms were owned individually and rented to the hotel, so experiences may differ depending. The furniture in our room was in decent upkeep and things were clean for the most part. There was no daily maid service so the sheets did not get changed. Our room also came with a kitchen, however, our refrigerator did not work. Our biggest issue with the hotel was our wireless router not working. We took the problem up with the front desk who allowed us to use one from their manager for the night. Their parking structure is extremely small and you will need to pay a daily fee to park there. There is a burger restaurant next door and a bar/grill just further down the street. The beach is a minute walk and there is a Starbucks right at the corner. All in all the location is the best part and this is a good place to stay for the price if you aren't planning on staying in your hotel much during your trip.You get what you pay for with this hotel.

I've traveled to Wikiki and stayed here both times. If your goal is to travel to Wikiki and bypass a bunch of tourists, this is the best hotel to stay at for the price. To give you an idea, I'm in my 20s and just wanted to travel to an island for a few days, chillax on the beach, scooter around the island and enjoy the sunset, all while being thoughtful of my budget. This hotel gave me that luxury. Rarely saw kids (unless I was at the beach). Modest places to eat at right on the strip. Caveat, there is a nightclub on the 2nd floor, which I NEVER heard the residual noise at night. The nightclub does cater to the male-male variety, not that that was a problem. I think the hotel has a pool, but why use it when the pacific freaking ocean is a block down the road!!! It was a great location since it's near the beach/ocean, Diamond Head and the Zoo. The room was quaint. Nothing spectacular, but in reality, the majority of my time was spent outside. I just used the room for sleep, toilet, AC, ...I've traveled to Wikiki and stayed here both times.

I decided to fufill my dream and go to hawaii,I took my gf with me as her graduation present from ut. I read the reveiws and was expecting alot worse but was surprised once we got there.The rooms were clean and neat,right across the street from the beach and the zoo. It is also possible to walk to diamond head(which we did) but I dont recommend,take the 3.00 dollar van ride back if you can!They also had a sundeck that had a beautiful view of the ocean and the beach. If I had one complaint it wasnt the hotels fault,early in the morning you heard the typical city sounds,garbage trucks,construction etc etc,but Im sure most of that was due to my being wide awake because of my jet lag.Overall a good value for the money and more than likely we will stay here as I plan to go back!I decided to fufill my dream and go to hawaii,I took my gf with me as her graduation present from ut.

I chose this hotel because it's one of the closest to the volcano. It was true; the view was spectacular! In general, the hotel was good though outdated (a studio room I stayed really needed some renovation). The location is great; it's a 3-5 minute walk to Waikiki Beach! There is a popular bar on the 2nd floor of the hotel, but it's not noisy. Also the hotel is worth its price. I would stay there again.I chose this hotel because it's one of the closest to the volcano. It was true; the view was spectacular!

I took my girlfriend to hawaii back in may of 2010 for her graduation present from university of tennessee. It has always been a dream of mine to go see pearl harbor and to see hawaii. The hotel was actually much better than I had though it was going to be.It was right across the street from the zoo and the beach was right at our door step practicallydiamond head is doable on foot#40which we did#41 from our room. The rooms were cleanhad ac and cablewe had one with a kitchenette but found it was cheaper to eat out. I liked the fact they had a place on the roof with lounge chairs so you could look out over the pacific.They also had a pool and a place to wash your clothes in the basement. The only thing I did not like were just typical city sounds#40garbage trucksjackhammers etc etc#41 Hawaii is absolutely gorgeous and I will be going back!!I took my girlfriend to hawaii back in may of 2010 for her graduation present from university of tennessee.
